Appleton Estate is elevating the holiday season with the introduction of its limited-edition Spanish Sherry Cask release, a daring new expression that combines the refined depth of Oloroso sherry casks with the exuberance of Jamaican rum.  

This release represents an exciting new chapter for the legendary distillery, pushing the boundaries of what rum can be. It is designed for rum fans, dark spirit enthusiasts, and daring drinkers. With layers of dried fruit, honey, vanilla, citrus, and a smooth, dry finish enhanced by toasted nuts and tobacco, the result is a rich yet approachable character.

The Spanish Sherry Cask is ideal for sipping neat, upgrading cocktails, or giving as a holiday gift because of its honeyed bronze colour, opulent scent, and contemporary personality.

Touted as a unique release available for a short time, Spanish Sherry Cask combines creativity, craftsmanship, and legacy to create a spirit that is unique for the season and a must-have for both collectors and joyful revellers.
